Chapter 3~ Runaway
Iris:
Really late at night I walked towards my house with goosebumps creeping behind my back. It was like someone was watching me from the distance, which felt really bad and uncomfortable. Jack would've had come and join me, but her mom didn't allow that. He needed to do his undone homework.
I walked more faster our street down and already saw my house. Home sweet home. I rushed over to it and took my keys, then opened the door and glanced once back at me. Only seeing the lights and quiet street. I sighed, got in and closed the door then.
"Where were you?" I flinched as saw from a side window my father with a beer can, growling to me. I groaned, took my shoes off and walked towards upstairs. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" He yelled.
"But i'm not to you!" I yelled back at him and jogged now the stairs.
"You little-!" I heard how he struggled to run the stairs after me, but he surely was coming. "Wait when I get my hands on you!"
I shut my door close and locked it, then backed away when banging happened. I heard it stopped for a second, until his leg came through the door, I only gulped. I grabbed what I could and opened my window in try to get out. I saw it was locked and felt something for long time. Fear.
My hair was pulled back as I screamed, he slapped his hand on my mouth and pressed my back on him. I felt him lick bit of my neck, I froze.
Wait.. dad no.
"I never realized why John loved this, did you?" He asked with smirk. I shook my head and whined. "Don't worry-" He reached to my pocket and grabbed my phone, then backed away. "You won't be leaving this house the whole weekend."
I glared deadly at him.
".. I hate you." I growled tears in my eyes, he sighed and closed my door where was this huge hole.
Now what do I do?
~~|||~~
Next day came and I just layed on my bed, listening music with my Ipod and read a book. I knew Miko, Raf and Jack was going to see Autobots.. I wanted too. But my asshole dad won't allow it and had desided to stay the whole day at home. So, my escape plan weren't gonna work as he would hear everything.
I sighed and changed the song to 'Ring of fire' by Krewella. I loved the song, although it was bit old.
I hummed bit with the melody and changed the book's page to 105, I had read the whole morning. I even hadn't get breakfast or so, so I was hungry, and still pissed of as fuck.
Until the song ended and I could sworn I heard knocking. So I stood up and looked out of the window to see.. Jack.
"Jack!?" I whisper yelled as I jumped up from my bed, then tried to open the window up.. it was locked as yesterday. "What are you doing?" I whispered, not wanting to wake my father up.
"What are you doing? We're going to see Autobots." He asked, I sighed.
"I can't come, dad grounded me for the weekend.. tell Optimus I said hey." I said sadly and sit down on my chair.
"No need." I froze and noticed a familiar huge nuzzle pop upside down behind my window beside Jack. My mouth hanged open as I stared at Optimus.
"Wait- but how-?"
"How'd you think I came up here?" Jack asked with chuckle. I smiled and stood little up. "Let's go."
"But, my window.." I murmured. Jack grinned and showed small metal stick, I grinned too. He slide it under my window as I got to pick the lock up.
"He's awake.." Optimus warned and his ears moved bit, I tsked and kept going.
"Iris! Wake up!"
"Come on.." I murmured and heard the lock click open, then pulled it wide open. I smelled the fresh air once more, and took everything out of it. I took huge breath as Optimus raised me and Jack up to the roof.
"Iris!?" He was in my room. We saw him peek out of the window and curse under his breath. "Damn it!" He run the stairs down.
"Now..-" I sighed deeply and curled to a ball. "He's going to kill me next time for sure."
"He won't." Optimus said sternly and looked down when my dad run out and towards city. "I won't let that happen." I smiled and kissed his nuzzle.
"Thanks, dad." I joked, he raised an eyebrow but I only jumped on him. I helped Jack on too. He probably hadn't used to Optimus for his height, and he had to hold on for me, he almost fell. "Where's Arcee?"
"She went on a mission with Bumblebee, Bulkhead took already Raf and Miko back." Jack answered as Optimus got to flying again.
I nodded once.
I loved the air brush my hair and face, it was refreshing and kind of new sensation. I was riding an actual dragon, on top of that leader one. Jack didn't enjoy that much, but, I did.
"Optimus?" Jack asked, earning my attention too. "Who's that?" Jack pointed down at a new and odd dragon to me.
(Sry for bad pic again)
"It's a vehicon." Optimus growled and glared down at it. "You two hide." His order was stern as ever, which caused me to flinch.
We gladly obeyed and leaned to hide behind Optimus's wings when it looked up at us. As Optimus glared down at it, I could see him getting up and flying little away, until he did something else then.
"He's allowed to be on your side?" I whisper asked, Optimus shook his head and kept going.
"Any Decepticon is not allowed to be around here, but I can't take the risk of you to be spotted, and get hurt. Your safety comes first." Optimus stated, we shared looks with Jack.
"If you dump us here, we can walk." Jack affored, Optimus shook his head.
"Not even in my consideration." He stated, we sighed. "There's a lot of them hiding in our woods, that's why Arcee and Bumblebee are on the mission, we have seen them oddly more than ever." He continued and flew into clouds, I touched them.
"They'll take it down?" I asked, Optimus glanced at me.
"If they're fast enough." He replied, I made small smile.
"So, any news of that Mega-thing?" I asked and leaned to lay on Optimus, my head close to his.
"He has a habit to stay in the shadows and think of his plans.. not for time being." He answered, I was rather surprised how honest he was to us.
"Like coward?" Jack asked.
"He might seem one, but know, he's one you should never underestimate, he can turn from bad to worse." Optimus said and flew towards their nest.
"I think he's fascinating.. in some way." I stated, he immediately glanced at me of face did I had sunstroke. "What?"
"He? Fascinating?" Jack asked too, I shrugged.
"You should never face him again, Iris, Primus only knows what happens then." Optimus answered, I groaned deeply. "And that is an order."
Optimus finally came to the nest and landed on his four paws, then let both of us down.
"Great, more coming." Ratchet stated, annoyed, rolling his eyes and got back to his work.
"What are you doing?" Raf asked, Ratchet glanced only his direction.
".. New formula of sealing wounds more quicker, in these times we need it urgently." He finally stated and moved something to somewhere.. I was not paying so much attention on them.
"Need human hands?" Raf asked, Ratchet huffed.
"C'mon Bulk!" My attention drawned to Miko and Bulkhead. Optimus had layed down and looked out of something.. maybe guarding. "Let's. Go. To. Lake!" She growled and tried to push her guardian out, who didn't move one bit.
"Miko, there's dangerous, even we won't go there without other dragon with." Bulkhead said seriosly, causing the party girl make Aww face and cross her arms.
"What are you even doing on your days?" I asked with sigh and sit down on the edge, only few meters away from Optimus.
"Watching for any sign of our comrades and possible Decepticon activity." Optimus remained stern, I sighed and layed down on my back.
"Sounds kind of boring.. and we're staying in here?" I asked, he raised his eyebrow. "I mean.. are we allowed to leave with any of you even hunting?"
"If the mission is easy, but nowhere near Decepticons." He warned, I grinned. He could act like a big brother also, jeez.
"It's a deal." He made small smile and nodded, then looked again out.
I stared the sealing above and closed my eyes.
~ Time skip ~
I accidentally had fell asleep indeed, but had woke up surrounded by warm and safe. It was not hard to know why as I had firstly opened my eyes. A smile once more creeped on my face as I watched Optimus who seemed to be asleep.
Well, now he's sleeping at least.
The call of nature called and I quietly squirmed my way out and tip toed out. I looked back to see everyone in sleep, even Ratchet was and smiled. I got to crawl behind the solid rock towards small woods which were connected to their nest, that was where they goed if needed and so did my friends too. I would go and explore the woods also, but weren't so interested about it.
I got to there and bended down, after I took my jeans bit down and did my needs. I stood again up and smelled the air, then pulled my jeans on again and walked further to the woods.
Okay, I knew I should have waked Optimus up, but I was curious. The place had so much for explore and search, and he was finally in sleep. And I had time of my own. Some peace for him too. And ontop of that I needed fresh air. Sleeping in a cave won't count it!
"Starscream, let's go already." I froze at those voices and slightly backed away, my instics told me so. I even didn't saw them, but could already guess who they were, on Autobots territory.
"Nonsense, our master will have our heads if we retrieve without nothing with." That voice was also unfamiliar, but Optimus had mentioned Megatron's second in command was called Starscream. So, I figured there was two of them.. one quite bad.
I slightly hide behind a tree really close to Autobots nest and could just easily run to there, but was curious of these two.
"Besides, Autobots are sleeping, they have no idea." He continued as I felt the ground shake bit of their steps.
A roar ended to my ears too far away and I knew it anywhere, anytime. Megatron.
"We're screwed." They had gone very close to me. I only holded my breath.
"Not yet.." I felt his smirk and without even seeing, I knew he saw I was there. So, I made run for it.
I jumped out just in time before I got crushed and run the path back towards Bots' nest. I glanced back to see the familiar two faces like back at our city chasing at me, I gulped.
But I managed before them to jump on the rock seiling next to Autobots' nest and crawled towards the opening, they stopped at that. They made low growls and glares at me, then flew off. The sigh I made in relief was deep.
But I knew I just screwed the situation up. I had revealed that we were with Autobots..
"They didn't hurt you?" I flinched at Ratchet's voice and spin around, he could see small beginning tears of mine and frowned. "Did they?" He replied, I wiped them away quickly and shook my head.
"No, they had not the chance.." I answered and pulled my sleeves on my hands and kept wipening. "I just ruined everything." I murmured.
"Better now than anytime other." He only stated and grabbed me, then raised to the opening. "I believe Optimus understands, besides-" He looked back at the sky. "They were on our territory, you couldn't know."
I nodded smally and crawled back to Optimus, then saw Ratchet go bit away, but not far.
"Thanks Ratch.." I whispered and made small smile, he only nodded and layed his head down.
"Next time, wake me up."
I sighed deeply and crawled under Optimus's wing, then leaned my head to his hind leg and closed my eyes.
Then fell again asleep.

Megatron:
"Starscream, Knockout." The warlord growled and turned to face his troopers that heads remained low. "You dare to come back without anything with!?" He hissed at them, causing them to flinch.
"A-actually, lord Megatron.." Starscream started and exhanged looks with Knockout. "We have intriguing news."
"The only news I want to hear is that Optimus Prime is dead!" Megatron roared and turned his back to them.
"The human, my lord-" Knockout started carefully. "We saw her.."
"Her?" Megatron asked and glanced at Knockout with raised eyebrow. "And why would I care about a human, Knockout?" He demanded quickly, the Medic of his swallowed hardly.
"The human girl my master, the one you lost to Optimus Prime." Knockout defended, the memory hit the warlord as flash. The grin was soon on his face, same as it was followed with laughs.
"So, Prime has taken human allies.. interesting." He stated and turned to look their nest's opening. "Soundwave!" He called, the male beside him stood up. "Find out how many, I'm curious."
The young male nodded and swing to fly, the warlord himself turned to his troopers.
"The information was sufficient, dissmissed." He growled and walked past them.
"Yes, my lord." They both bowed and walked away towards rest of the troopers.
Megatron only grinned and layed down. The face of this human femme he'll never forget, so innocent, curious and fearless. It almost excited him, except small little problem. She was a human. Small, puny, weak, pathetic little creature, which normally wouldn't let his hopes up.
He could easily kill her, snatch her spine or neck broken my one bite or to blow her up by one single blast, but. Something, really small part of him was rather intriguinged by her. He couldn't understand it, which made him groan and lay his head down.
He didn't even know her name.
Which didn't bother him, like mostly the whole human didn't either. Only the smallest part of him did and he didn't even feel sorry if she died.
That was his nature, not caring of anyone.
But the defiant face of hers made him growl and lowly. The small puny human had really challenged him, the leader of the Decepticons by stare, which he didn't like. One. Bit.
This thoughts confused him. He never thoughed much of anythng, suddenly this happens.
He shook his head smally and closed his eyes.
Until we meet again, fleshie.

How's that?
